Wake Forest enters tonight’s matchup at Clemson winner five of its last six games, including two hard-fought victories in the Atlantic Coast Conference in back-to-back games.

The Demon Deacons are riding a wave of confidence, one that they hope doesn’t crash.

“Our mental toughness is getting better every day, especially when we win,” Wake Forest forward Travis McKie said after Saturday’s 75-72 victory against Boston College. “Our confidence level is pretty good, but we still can’t take nothing for granted. Every road game is tough in the ACC, especially at Clemson.”

Clemson has won the last three matchups with Wake Forest, and hasn’t lost in the series since 2010.

The Tigers are coming off their first ACC victory of the season, defeating Virginia 59-44 on Saturday. Two of Clemson’s trees in the land, Milton Jennings and Devin Booker, had big games. The Demon Deacons know that they will have their work cut out for them, and will have to keep them in check.

“Jennings and Booker are very athletic and quick,” said Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik. “Jennings likes to shoot it from outside, and Booker likes to bury himself down low. We have to go in there and play hard and play well.”

Jennings knocked down five shots from behind the arc against Virginia on his way to a game-high 21 points, and he grabbed 11 rebounds. Booker added 15 points and nine rebounds, and is ranked first among ACC leaders in offensive rebounding and third overall.

Wake Forest’s Devin Thomas, who did a superb job of containing Boston College’s star Ryan Anderson on Saturday, knows he has a big task ahead of him.

“I have to do a good job against Booker,” Thomas said. “(Saturday) helped facing Anderson, and I think I did an alright job.”

Clemson ranks third in the ACC in scoring defense, but the Demon Deacons have two of the top five scorers in conference play. Senior guard C.J. Harris, who scored a career-high 29 points against the Eagles, is second in the ACC with 21.3 points per game. McKie had 18 points, is averaging 18.0 points per game, tied for fifth with N.C. State’s C.J. Leslie.

“We’re going to have to stay together as a team, stay the course,” Harris said, “to grind it out on the road.”
